• 0:08

• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Host of The Right Time with Beaumont Jones. Check it
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: out wherever you get your podcasts.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, gets bailed.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we actually have a stupendous slate of NFL action
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: this weekend. And thank goodness, Ryan, because if we did not,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: this would be a frantic, frantic program.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: But, you know, thankfully, the NFL, we did not have
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: a great slate of games yesterday. Last week, excuse me.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: But this week it is. Excellent. Also, we got Texas,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Georgia that Saturday as well. Right.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: We've got that.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: But what we have on top of this that is
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: better than any of it is A.J.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Brown throwback NFL wide receiver. OK, now.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I actually don't even feel like this is truly throwback
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: wide receiver behavior because when I think about throwback wide
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: receiver behavior, I think about people acting bad, like just
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: being mad that they're not getting the ball and doing
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a poor job of articulating perhaps that it's larger than them,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: but it always just seemed like it was just about them.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: But A.J.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Brown for the last year and a half has been
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit miffed that he's not getting the ball.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And by the way, so is Devontae Smith because their
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: problem doesn't simply appear to be that they're miffed about not.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Getting the ball.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: The problem seems to be this offense stinks and everybody
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: knows it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Can't you tell, right?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you could run for 2000 yards of Saquon
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Barkley last year and make everything work. But as is
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: often the case when a running back takes a bunch
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of carries in a year and by the way, or
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: just gets to the age of Saquon Barkley, you can't
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: do this again. So in a very not throwback sort
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of way, AJ Brown was perfect. on the stream playing
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: video games with somebody and somebody asked him some questions
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: about what was going on and what he was saying
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: with the offense. And he was saying, no, it's not
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: going good. Is it good enough? You know, all those
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: kinds of things.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And, you know.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: From what I understand about you, people who play video
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: games to that level, you know, it's easy to like
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: forget that you're actually being recorded and people.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Can hear you. You know what I mean? You get
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: yourself just.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: A little bit too comfortable and you say a little
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: bit too much. And I've been in situations where like
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you're doing something that's.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Being recorded, but you do it with your friend.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And so you get a little bit too comfortable and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: perhaps you say something, not that you didn't mean, but
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: something that you probably didn't. either didn't intend to say
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: or it was received in a way differently than you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: expected just because you were so comfortable and you were
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: talking to a friend. And so you think since you're
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: talking to a friend, the fact that the rest of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the world can hear you goes away. And so your
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: friend understands your tone. Your friend understands what you mean.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Your friend extends you certain measures of grace if things
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: might be just a little bit.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Gruff, right?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But the rest of the world is listening and now
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the rest of the world has questions. And You typically
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: have two options under those circumstances. Option one is just
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: not to say nothing about it. Just typically my choice.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Option two is to kind of be like, ah, you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: maybe I got a little bit too comfortable.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: That wasn't exactly what I meant. Those are normally the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: two options. A.J. Brown went with the rarely used option three.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And option three for him, 10 toes down. Ryan, can
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: you play what A.J. Brown had to say?
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: A.J., can you explain the situation with the fact that
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: you said.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: You took it?
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: It's not just solely.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: About my situation.
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, guys, like, obviously, I want to win, too,
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: you know? And I think if we're really focusing on winning,
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: doing our job, like, we can't just keep slapping the
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: Band-Aid over the defense during their job. and getting us
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: out of trouble.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: At what point are we going to.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: Pick up our slack as an offense that we're so great,
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: you know? And that's what I'm getting at.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: It's not about we're not winning or I don't care
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: about winning. All I care about is snap and step.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: No.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: It's been week after week sometimes.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: We're not contributing. We're not doing our job on offense.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: So you can't just keep slapping.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: The Band-Aid over it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: You expect to win later in the year.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: You don't think you're going to go to it at
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: the end of the year.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It's not going to fucking happen. It's not going to happen.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It's not going to happen.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: Last year.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: what it was.
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: Thank you for the ring but it's a new season
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: they adapted we have to adapt and we have to
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: continue to like get better and try to find new
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: ways so that's that's where the frustration comes in because
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: it's not about winning you guys like i want to
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: win yes and help contribute as well do our thing
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: on offense as well that's i think.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: That's fair.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Right what was that in his.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Locker um it was a receipt that said jesus paid
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: it all oh.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Got to worry about a guy like that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: This dude in Dallas wants to sue Deion Sanders because
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Deion took his car in to get fixed. When Buddy
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: asked for the money, Deion told him that Jesus told
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: him that he didn't have to pay.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the truth.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not making this up for you people who think
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I'd be hating on Dion. That actually happened. So he
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: said Jesus paid the receipt. Now, OK, you you still
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: have to pay things to just just in case that
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: comes up. But you know what I find interesting about
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: this with A.J. Brown is that like it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Sounds like he's pushing back on all this millennial zoomer positivity.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Somebody keeps saying everything is OK.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Like I used to work this one job. where every
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: day we would come off and somebody would tell us
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: what a great day we had. And I was like,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: there's no way we had a great day every day.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Right. It's not possible. You're lying. This is useless. Like
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: this is actually becoming counterproductive.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Not every single show is a great show.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Like this is becoming counterproductive if this is the feeling
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that you have about this.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Is Sirianni one of those guys? Like, is that what
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it is?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: But the tone that he's taking implies, guys, stop lying
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I know what time it is. This ain't it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Last game, he had two catches for 13 yards
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: in the first half and had less in the second half.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: He had less targets.
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And I mean, look, man, I was watching some TV
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and they made a very good point that Nick Sirianni
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: didn't get enough trouble. for what a disaster it looked
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: like that team was going to be early in 2024,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and for riding the ship and getting everything okay.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: They were 2-2. He's screaming at fans in Cleveland.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: And shows up with a shaved head. Correct.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: It didn't. But did he fix stuff, or did they
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: just start winning?
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And so the point is, where A.J. Brown's talking about
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we can't just keep throwing the Band-Aid over it. In
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a way, winning is the Band-Aid, right? It's just like, hey,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter as long as we're winning. That's a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: tricky situation. But now they're going to play this game
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: on Sunday night against America's team, the Detroit Lions. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I do believe that they have to go to Detroit
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to play this game. And look, this is two teams. Oh,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: so no, they're going to get this game at home.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Okay. Okay.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: So, Ryan, what I was about to say, I have
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to take off the table, but now it makes for
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: what I think is perhaps a more interesting set of points.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: What you got?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: OK, so my thought was, hey, you got to go
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: play on the road.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: It's going to be loud in there. That could be
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: extra tricky. Counterpoint on this is you get the game
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: at home.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Where it might be louder and trickier.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Like if this offense does not get going. Hey, man,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Eagles fans know he's right. Right. That's a fan base
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that's not falling for the just because we're winning. Certainly
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: happier for winning, but they're not falling for that. If
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that offense comes out there looking sluggish, it's going to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: be a thing.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I actually need to take.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: A greater survey of Eagles fans to see do they
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: love A.J. Brown for this or hate A.J. Brown for
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: this because if I was an Eagles fan, he would
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: become my favorite player. He's my favorite player right now
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and I root for the Lions.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Right. I appreciate anyone who is that Consistently honest. Say
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: what you want about Adrian. Man stays on message. Yes.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: He wants the ball and he wants the offense to
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: be better. And he's clearly right.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And he hasn't said anything rude.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Right? Like, he hasn't come... He hasn't taken all.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: It's not personal. It's not... He's not like... Remember when
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Micah Parsons said on his pod, he listed the top
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: five quarterbacks and.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: He did list Prescott.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Like, he's never saying... anyone's not doing a good job,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: he's saying we're not doing a good job.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: He is saying we're not doing a good enough job
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: getting me the ball.
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: But he's not saying certain people aren't doing enough.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Well, the other part is they are not doing a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: good enough job of getting him the ball.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't think that's in dispute.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Everybody agrees with everything that he's saying, and I'm just
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out what the head coach is doing.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: If that's how he feels.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Of course, the way this season is gone, that means
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that the Eagles are going to win this game but
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: not cover the spread, and the spread is two and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a half, and their record is just going to keep
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: getting better. Is it going to be like it was
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: with the Chiefs last year, where we wound up in
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: this very similar situation?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, like, but the Chiefs last year, they didn't
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: seem as frustrated. Like, there was no one sounding the alarms.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: And maybe that's just Philadelphia, right? That's just kind of
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: the culture of the place.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it's two years in a row it is, Schaefer.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: That's true, yeah.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: As it relates to him, I think, or maybe the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Chiefs have. greater track record there, or maybe AJ Brown
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: just go harder.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Right. Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe, maybe he is just more of a perfectionist.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe he insists a little bit more, but the other
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: thing with the Eagles is this, they're not playing for
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the division, man.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: They're going to win that.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: They're surrounded by bums in that division. Um, They are, however,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: low key. And I don't think we're talking about this
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: part nearly enough. They are absolutely playing for the number
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: one seed in that conference because everybody else is going
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to beat up on each other in the division by
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and large, except for Tampa Bay.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: But I just don't think they're that good. But there
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: look to.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Be perhaps four good teams in the north. There appear
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to be three good teams.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: In the west.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So they're all going to pound each other. And the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Eagles get to play a season with two games. against
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Commanders, and Giants.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Make a wish.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: They do.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God, the Commanders.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: The Commanders.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, the Commanders and the Cowboys play on Christmas,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and the name of that game should be The Spirit
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of Giving. Like the, it is amazing how bad the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: commander's defense is. So, you know, my man, Dan Campbell
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: took over play calling for the lions. He said he
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: wanted to, he wanted to show John Morton the way
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he wanted a game to be called, which I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: is a fair thing to do here.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I also think Dan Campbell every now and then needs
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to remind people that it's a brain up here.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Some people like to drive the car. They don't have
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: to drive. Some people don't have to, they don't have
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: to drive every day, but some people, you know, they
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: like to show they still got it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: But he also has to get tired of people thinking
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that he's not a thinker. And this is his opportunity
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to do so.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: But anyway, a.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Friend of the program, I don't know if that person
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: has said this in public, so I want to be
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: careful putting their name on it. But they're like, nah,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I see through what Dan did. And that actually, no,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it was Mina. And she did send it on social.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: She saw through what Dan Campbell did.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, he picked up the Madden sticks, but he played
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: it on Rookie?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did. That is exactly.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: But however, to be fair to Dan Campbell, If you
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: want to show how you want it to be done.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: This is the best way to go about showing how
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: you want it to be done. Like, did he do
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: it to show everybody how good he was?
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: Maybe.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: But if it was intended to be instructional, that was
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the perfect time. Anyway, they're going to play against each other,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the Commanders on Christmas.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And it's just going to look. Russell Wilson looked like
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. Against the Cowboys.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Also, that might be Marcus Mariota versus Joe Milton.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And it'll look like Joe Montana versus Dan Marino. It's
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: just going to be up and down, up and down.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: That's what it's going to be. But this is a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: great week of football, man. We got the Seahawks and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the Rams who might be, honest to God, the best
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: two teams in the NFC.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Some might argue the best two teams.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: In the league, the Bears, who've got this thing rolling,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: but Caleb Williams against Brian Flores, hey, hey, hey, that could,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you know, that could get ugly fast. The Bills, are
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the Bills any must-win against Tampa Bay?
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: That's a great... white loyalty quarterback game between Josh Allen
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: and Baker Mayfield.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's going to be a lot of people unsure
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of exactly who it is that they should be rooting
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: for or against in the course of this. But with
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the Patriots being an actual factual football team and they
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: get to play the Jets on Thursday night at home,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: so I presume they are going to be 9-2 going
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: into that game. If the Bills go down to 6-4,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they're playing the playoffs on the road. They're going to
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: have to go into other people's houses. And they've stacked
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: up a really good playoff record by feasting in large
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: part on the expansion of the playoffs to seven teams
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: because they are getting home games often against a team
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that had no business being in the playoffs. And I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: will throw this out here. And we've kind of lost
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: track of this. If the Bills really come up disappointing
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: this year, right? Let's say the Bills are a wildcard team.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Let's say the Bills lose in the first round. Ryan,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Sean McDermott's getting fired, right?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Getting him out of there.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Like, I think we forgot about the story.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: The story.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: The thorough, thorough.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Well-reported.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Thorough reporting.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Never disputed.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: The Tyler Duds run up and down. And I say
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: this every time I talk about him. His newsletter is
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a magazine, man.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Like it's, it's legit.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Like it's legitimately stunning that it's, it's, it ain't just,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I put some stuff.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Out here on Substack.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: But he ran through it with McDermott and a, I
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: thought a reason case for why he was what held
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Buffalo back. Now I think what holds Buffalo back as
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: much as anything else is Josh Allen's just being as
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: he's Atlas, right? He just got the world on his shoulders.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: But if they don't get it done, he's been there
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a long time. My buddy, Nick makes the point. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: think that no quarterback and coach have been together for
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: this long ever without going to a Super Bowl.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Right. And usually you go, I think if you don't,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: the sad is if you don't win in the first
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: five years.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: With your coach and your quarterback together, you're not, you don't.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: McDermott's had this job for eight years. This is year nine. Right.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Like it's easy to lose sight of that. Now look,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: it's the.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: 20 years prior to this were much different, right? They
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: missed the playoffs 19 years in a row. OK, it's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: been an uptick, but if they lose this game, they've
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: got giant problems. I think if this goes, we got
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: any more like I feel like we got 49ers Cardinals
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: 49ers might lose that game, by the way. Ravens Browns,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the Browns do sneak up on people every now and then. Oh,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I forgot Chiefs Broncos. And where are those Broncos fans now?
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: When it comes to Bo Nix.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Give me interesting to say.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't know if you.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Saw this, but apparently Colin Coward has said publicly that
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: don't be surprised if Peyton wants to move on from
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix and Colin and Peyton are cool.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: But isn't this just year two for Bo Nix?
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, but if you didn't... I mean, you
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: also played eight years in college.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: How you feel about Bo Nix and his potential really
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: has a lot to do with how much college football
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you watch.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Like overall.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: And what point you watched it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Because if all you got was the Oregon, even Oregon
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: was a pretty clear fake out. But if you saw
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Auburn Bo Nix, he's supposed to be a college quarterback.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: You know what he's supposed to be like?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Major Applewhite?
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: More like Chad Kelly.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Got it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Major Applewhite, very similar in the sense that a college
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: quarterback that we remember and talk about.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: But Bo Nix was an experience. Chad Kelly was an experience, right?
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Where it's like, Oh, there's no, Steven Garcia was an experience.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Jordan Jefferson was an experience, right? That's the, how did
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: he get taken in the top 15 of the draft?
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Like I remember Bo Nix in Auburn and seeing him.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: I was like, wow, he's going to be really good
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: at radio or someone's quarterback coach by this point. The
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: idea that he would be an actual factual NFL starter
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: and then an actual factual NFL first round pick. I
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: never considered.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Like he couldn't even be selling cars. He should be
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: selling ATVs. Something, something a little bit more exciting. Right.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Like something, something that gets your blood pressure up just
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but they're.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Eight and two.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Somehow, some way.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Now, if the chiefs, this is a road game and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: it's a division. So like thought it was possibly better. Oh,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: if the chiefs lose this game, now I do think
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: they are in trouble.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Cause you got to come back and you got to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: win the games to get up there. Right.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: They are, they, they are right now.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: On the outside looking again, which is something that none
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of us really take seriously.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: But one more loss, you kind of need to win
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this game. So it's going to be a dope week.

• 19:08
  Speaker 2: All right, NBA. I fired up the league pass on
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Wednesday night, watching some basketball.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I was watching the Warriors and the Spurs, and we
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: had talked about how things were getting a little dicey
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: for the Warriors. right I don't know how much of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that game that you got to see uh the Warriors
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: won the game because it was a Jimmy and Steph
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: run shit kind of game where Steph Curry had what
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is it 46 points I want to say in that
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: game but there were long stretches of him off the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: floor and Jimmy doing that Jimmy thing where I just
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: carry everything this is immediately after you know the the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: heat on what exactly does Jimmy do We're starting to
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: come up.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: And it was like, no, you can have long stretches
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: for stuff. Doesn't play.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Cause if nothing else, whether it goes exactly how you
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: want or not, this guy is going to do that.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: He's got it. Whether or not it goes well as
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: to be seen, but he is certainly a, yeah. Let
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: me even talk about someone sneaky, old.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Sneaky, old, him, Draymond, um, Steph, um, Yeah, they're sneaky old.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Speaking of sneaky old Draymond, Draymond was out there trying
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to guard Victor. First of all, I don't know how much,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: like the Victor highlights are one thing. You got to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: watch the whole game, man. Like he's the only guy
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen that can guard. So if it's two
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: on one break, right? You're at once trying to guard
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the ball in the basket and you're trying to stop
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: before you have to commit to one or the other
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: on defense.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: He can guard both.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: All the time.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: He blocked a three-pointer with his foot in the paint.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: He did. He did.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I love that it was Draymond
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Green that even tried. Because Jimmy Butler looked like me
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: playing against my brother when I was growing up. And understand,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: my brother's 13 years older than me.
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: So it was probably a similar height difference. Yeah, he's not.
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: Jimmy Butler's 6'8. He's not putting this up like anywhere
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: near him. Get into the basket, dribble it right back out.
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: We're not doing this. Draymond's trying to guard him. Ryan,
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: he's dream shaking and shooting lefty hooks in the paint.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: He didn't make it. But the fact that that was
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: even on the board, like how smoothly he's getting these
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: shots up at these. I don't know who's supposed to
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: guard him. The Spurs.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: The Spurs are going to be a top three seed,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I think, in the West. I don't know how far
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: they're going to go because they are so young. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: shout out to that dude, Cisco. We talked about that
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the other day. He's finally gotten his ass in line. And,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: you know, somebody had to grab the back of his
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: neck to make them listen to them.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: And he finally has chilled out with his behavior.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: And he got a lot of guards. It's a lot
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: of Fox, Harper, and Castle.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the other part, too, is they was running
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Cisco at the point.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Right, right.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Greg Hopovich is a great coach. I do not think
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: they did a great job down the stretch there. This dude, Mitch,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the new coach, they seem to be playing better ball
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: in this regard. But the Warriors still came in and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: got that. Like, we're going to see what ultimately happens
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: with them. But it seems pretty clear up through this
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: point in the NBA season. To me, the West, Oklahoma
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: City and Denver. By the way, Jokic put up.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. The guy that ain't no better than Drew.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Holiday put up an easy 55 on the Clippers.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: An easy 55.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Ryan, I need to chill because I'm feeling like white
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: folks now where I ain't never going to let you
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: forget that you did that one thing ever wrong ever
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: in your life. No sirree, Bob. How dare you disrespect
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: this Caucasian hero? But on the real, how dare he?
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: People are going to start having some pretty crazy conversations
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: about Jokic if he wins another MVP. There's going to
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: start being Yogurt LeBron stuff. I'm just saying.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: But here's where it becomes tricky.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: The question becomes, why not?
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm not saying it's unfounded.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, now, a.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Championship would help.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Now, what's going to be interesting and I think helpful
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: for LeBron in terms of historical legacy is putting up
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: four championships the way that he did, the way that
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Steph did.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I think that's going to be a lot harder now.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Almost impossible.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the era of runs of championships. So you think
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: about it, for example, the 1980s, three teams won championships
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: in the 1980s. I mean, the Lakers, the Celtics... The
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Pistons and the Sixers, right.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: It was four. But you got to.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: A point where the Lakers won two in a row.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: The Pistons won two in a row. The Bulls won
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: three in a row. The Rockets won two in a row.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: The Bulls won three in a row. The Spurs won one.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: The Lakers won three. The Spurs won one. But you
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: see how this run goes.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: The Bulls won six in eight years. The Lakers won
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: like five in 11 or something like that.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was these long stretches with LeBron in
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the heat and LeBron making the finals eight straight years,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: for example. I don't think that's going to be something
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: that you could do. The 1970s were similar to this
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: where you did not have repeat champions. The Celtics won
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: two in the decade. The Knicks won two. Then otherwise,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you just got a lot of mixing and matching that's
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: going on. But Especially as the advanced numbers become a
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: bigger thing and the fact that I don't think Jokic
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: is going to play 23 years, but I think he
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: has a game that's going to be conducive to a
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: similar level of longevity to what LeBron's game was. Yeah,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: if Jokic wins another MVP, those discussions are going to
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: come up.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Or how about this, Ryan?
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Does it become a Jokic-Curry kind of discussion? Does it
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: become about an individual in that? Or is it just
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: about putting him in that space?
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: In that class.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Because the regular season results make it unequivocal that he
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: is of that level.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're getting the four MVPs, which he's certainly
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: got to be one of the favorites for. It'll be him, Luka,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: and Victor.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: And SGA probably running that as the four leading candidates.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: And people are going to start looking back at the
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Joel Embiid MVP like the Steve Nash MVPs.
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: It is.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I do that. The Derrick Rose MVP is
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: not the exact same.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: But it's in the same conversation.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: The Derrick Rose MVP, the more I think about it,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: is kind of in the same lane as the Charles
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Barkley MVP, which is.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: A legitimate MVP, right?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, this is, by the way, I watched
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the Thunders slap the taste out of the Lakers' mouths
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday night.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Jalen Williams isn't even playing, man.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Like, this is the thing about them. There's no reason
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to believe that they've even come close to peaking as
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to what they could be because the whole team is
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: 17 years old.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: And if the season ended right now, they'd have two
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: top 10 picks.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: And they have a zillion. What are you even supposed
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: to do? Like, if you're Presti, what are we supposed
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: to do with this team? We've got these picks. What
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: do I do?
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Trade them and try to get Giannis? They have enough
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: stuff to get Giannis in and not really hurt. They
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of picks they don't really need.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: They can trade for Giannis and not give up Chet, Jalen,
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: or SGA. I mean, obviously, you get into the cap
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: and the hard cap and all that stuff. Maybe not
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: the salaries, but before the second apron era of the NBA,
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: they have enough They could probably make the best offer.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: It's them or Houston.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: There's nothing that they can't do.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Like I don't, this, and I know we say this
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: just about every time a team wins a championship, but
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever had a championship team this
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: young where everybody just feels this young. There's another wave
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: of guys that's on the way.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: To come up.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I don't, it's going to be tough for everybody. And
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the Spurs, like I said, I think the Spurs are
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: going to be up there by the end of the year,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: just because they look, they look really talented, man. They
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: got guards. They've got this, whatever you want to call them.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: They're going to be up there. I watched some of
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the Pistons last night, but then I found out that
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: they good players like Cade wasn't playing.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Just like, and I ain't really getting into this.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: The East looks, the East looks like a bunch of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: teams that should be very happy to get to the finals.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: But with that in mind, the best story this year
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: to me, and I mean best in terms of it's
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: somewhat entertaining and I think it's actually kind of fascinating
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: as a topic of discussion is whatever is going on
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: with Memphis where John Morant is clearly done with this.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Clearly.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I said, and you could go look at it, I'm
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: sure we put out short videos of it and people
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: said I was crazy, but I said when they made
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that move and they traded Desmond Bain to the Magic,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: that the next play is to trade John Morant. Because
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: it's not so much that they traded Bain, it's that
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: they traded Bain for a bunch of picks, which means
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that you made a trade that was not intended to
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: make your team better in the short run. And if
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: you're making trades with a player of the stature of
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: John Morant, and you also have Jaron Jackson, and you're
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: not trying to get better, then... Are you tearing this down?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: That's the kind of move that you make when you're
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: about to tear a team down. Let me tell you
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: something about Jaron Jackson that I did not fully realize.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: It's one of those things that is obvious when you
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: watch his game, but until you look at the numbers,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you don't really realize this. And I just don't understand
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: how this is possible. Jaron Jackson, for those of you
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: who are unfamiliar, is listed at 6'10. He has never
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: averaged seven rebounds a game and has only had one
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: season averaging six rebounds a game. Ryan, how is that possible?
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: That is a, I hate to be this person, but
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: that's a, we used to be a proper country. It is.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I don't see how this is possible.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: But John doesn't like what the team is doing.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: It's fair to ask physically how much John Morant has left.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: And he's clearly not trying very hard.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Which him not trying very hard jumps out, especially because
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: of what the strategy is that they're doing. So the
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Grizzlies got this new coach. Let me read this off
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the page. because I ain't heard nobody say his name,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: but his name seems to be Thomas Isalo.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: He from Europe. I know he worked over there in Finland.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: He's got this idea of how he wants to play,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: where he wants to have guys out there and play
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: as hard as they can, three or four minutes at
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: a time. And then kind of run line shifts to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: get the guys out of there. Which, like to me,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: if you're going to do that, you might as well
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: be running like 40 minutes of hell full court press.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Like that feels like very much a college approach.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Apparently there were some tough times with it in Europe
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: when he did it, but it ultimately worked. It is
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: counter to the conventional wisdom of NBA basketball. which is
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to keep your best players on the floor as much
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: as you possibly can. He would not be the first
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: coach to try to play like 10 guys as your rotation.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: QB Brown, this was his standard operating procedure.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Steve Kerr famously likes to almost play everyone on his bench.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he tries, right? But when it's time to really
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: do something.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: None of these guys actually do that when it's time
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: to win. And so a guy like John Morant, yeah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: is going to push back. as something like this. Like,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's right in this situation, right?
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Like this isn't one of those where I think that
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: nobody is wrong. I don't think that this is an
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: approach that can work for running an NBA team. And
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think that John Morant is, I don't think
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: he is comporting himself in a fashion befitting of an adult.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Like, nah, man, if this is what we doing, man,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: get out here and play.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: This is the way that I look at these things.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Um, but they're going to have to figure something out
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: because you don't have a lot of stories about guys
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: coming out here and acting like that.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: And then suddenly coming around.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think that the head coach is going to
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: be able to win him over if it is already
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: reached this point. I don't think anybody's right here, which
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: means I don't have any idea how to fix this
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: other than tear the whole thing down.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing about tearing the whole thing down.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I hear people make the argument that the reason that
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: what's happening with the Mavericks is happening because Dumont, the owner,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: wants to move the team to Las Vegas because.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: They're Vegas people.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: And I think that there might be something to the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: idea that he wants to move the team to Vegas.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I know Adam Silver, but I've met
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver. We've spoken many times. I've interviewed him multiple times.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: He's not a fucking idiot, okay?
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: And.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Therefore, I don't think he's moving a team out of
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Dallas to go to Las Vegas. Don't really see that happening, okay? However,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Memphis is a tough market for the NBA. The team
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: clearly has a foothold in the city, but I don't
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: know what the money hitting for there, okay? You tear
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: it down in a place like Memphis and the people
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: stop coming and that becomes a team that people try
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: to move.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: To Las Vegas.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Just because of the size of the market that it's in, right?
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: That's how that sort of thing goes. If people start
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: talking about tearing.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: This team down, I think you start then getting some
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: whispers of other stuff. But the larger point for me
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: is not every market can afford to tear things all
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the way down to the studs because a lot of
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: markets don't have enough people who will still come to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: games for you to do that and to make this
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: profitable and to make this worthwhile, right? So I don't
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: know what it is they're going to do there, but
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: whatever they're doing right now, they can't keep that up.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: That ain't the business.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: All right, Bo, like you said earlier, we had to
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: make a last-minute audible on this show, so we figured
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: it was a good time to empty out some of
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: the old voicemails.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Let's take a listen to some.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Hey, Bomani. It's Mike, originally from Rochester, now living in Charlotte,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: North Carolina. And I'm just wondering, where is DJ Mike Hitman?
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Where is he?
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I haven't heard him in a long time. Maybe he's
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: on one of the other platforms. But just wanted to
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: see where is the OG, man? Is he doing well?
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: What's up? Or have I missed something? Can't wait to
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: hear from you. And also, I miss when you and
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Shen will go on about Cam Newton and his yogisms, man.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I still laugh and chuckle about when you're standing on
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: the pinnacle. Keep doing what you're doing. I'm a longtime
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: subscriber and best of luck to y'all. Peace.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: It is so funny that you mentioned that about Mike,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: because I had a moment a couple of weeks ago
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: where I realized I had not talked to Mike in
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a while. Like the last time I saw Mike, I
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: did a panel at the University of Chicago and and
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Mike pulled up to check that out so you know
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I love Mike pulling up me and Mike hanging out
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: at the University of Chicago like I'm up there with
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: prominent labor economists as the grad school flunk out right
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I'm hanging in there and Mike down there Mike got
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: this clean light blue jacket a yellow.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Tie Mike had the hat and the whole night.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I had Mike in the front row and then that
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: night it snowed ridiculously it was crazy but anyway I
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: hadn't talked to Mike in a while and then I
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: called Mike And Mike did not answer, which never happens.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: And then Mike did not call back, which also never happens.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: And he called me back one day and I missed it.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: And so he called me again. I mean, I called
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: him again, and he did not call back. And I
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: got nervous, right? Like, I was like, yo, is everything
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: okay with Mike? So I had to hit Goff, because
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Goff know Chicago. Goff know Mike from up there, completely
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: separate from us, right? And so Goff hit him, and
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Mike hit him back. And we're like, okay, cool.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Man, it turned out Mike was on the Tom Joyner cruise. Right.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: So I talked to Mike. Mike calls me back. We
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: talked for a while. Mike told me that he was
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: on the town of Jordan Cruz. Mike was riding around
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: with two Nigerian prayer women is what he called them.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: And I attempted to see if they was Nigerian and
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: they did. He put me on the phone with him.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: We was talking about living in Nigeria, where I lived
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and like, oh, in the north of the houses.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So we were going back and forth. Mike sent
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: me some pictures of him in a sombrero with the homies.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: They was all suited up. I bet Mike was in
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: a suit even on that cruise, by the way.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: You turned me on to something that I, which was
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: a real treat, which DJ Mike hit man's Instagram.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Because I had heard, I had obviously, you know, heard
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: the legends, but I had not, you know, gotten to put.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: You had never seen Mike.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Never seen Mike. And man. Talk about something that lived
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: up to my expectations.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: But you didn't realize that Mike Hitman is cock diesel.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: You're also correct.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: He told us that one day that by this workout,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: we were like, all right, Mike, Mike.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: And then he showed us Mike, Mike hit the vapor
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: rub under his nose before we get out there. Y'all
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: really want no problems with Mike Hitman. Mike told me
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: he gonna run for president of Mexico. He said he
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: was down there talking to the people. He said he
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: ain't know what they were saying because it was in Spanish,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: but he know that they need him.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: And so, hey, you know, Mike para presidente. So, yeah, no,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Mike's good. Did you ever get in touch with him?
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: I have not gotten in touch with Mike. I have
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: to be honest, I'm almost nervous.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: It's so easy.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: As anybody, there are people who have listened to this
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: show back when Mike used to give his phone number
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: all the time, who just called Mike up, and all
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: you got to say.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Is, you cool with me, no matter who you are.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it today, but I can put Mike's
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: phone number on here, and you can just call Mike
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: when you're in Chicago and say, hey, I'm with Beaumont.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Michael, meet you and show you around. You know, Michael,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: come hang out with you.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: No, just call, hey, I'm Ryan, I'm Bo's new producer. Bye, y'all,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: because we do need more Mike. That was the hardest
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: thing about changing the show from radio to podcast was
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: it was much more difficult to get Mike involved because
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure we have any of these things, if
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: not for Mike.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll have to sort that out. And again, the cam-isms.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Talk about something that never disappoints.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, I forgot to tell Shannon. I got to
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: tell Shannon next time he comes on.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: We got to we got to roll it back because
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: what's Shannon was doing that before we started doing the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: national show together. So we came when we were doing local.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: He wasn't doing it. And then he picked it up.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: And so I did not feel comfortable taking it with
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: me because that's Shannon's right.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: But it is great.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Anytime he comes back and we roll those out, especially
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: not in caves on TV.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, and he's giving the cam-isms at all hours
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: of the day.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: All right, here's our next one.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: Hey, Bo.
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: This is Landon from Connecticut, and I've been a longtime fan.
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: You and I are the same age. I turned 45
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: back in April, and I know you have the same
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: birthday as Macaulay Culkin, fellow 1980 baby.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I got.
• 38:33
  Speaker 10: Lots of praise I can give to you and all that,
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: but I just have one question. I remember an interstitial
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: on PTI, or not PTI, Round the Horn, excuse me,
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: and where they were talking about putting together a dream
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: band for a certain amount of money. You know, you
• 38:53
  Speaker 10: get a budget, you know, $ 1 for this drummer, $ 2
• 38:56
  Speaker 10: for this drummer, yada, yada, yada. And I remember you saying...
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: briefly in that commercial time frame prince prince prince prince
• 39:06
  Speaker 10: yep and the singer van morrison now i already knew
• 39:12
  Speaker 10: you were a huge prince fan as am i you
• 39:14
  Speaker 10: know um big time prince fan i got prince questions
• 39:18
  Speaker 10: galore for you another time but always curious where the
• 39:23
  Speaker 10: van morrison love came from and i'm you know don't
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: i heard you talk about bowie a lot but never
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: much about Van Morrison. Wonder if you can expand on that.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man. So, I mean, what happened was very simple.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I started listening to Van Morrison. It was like, Hey man,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: my boy can go. Like he's a one of one type.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I find is it's so interesting. I find that his
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: music is very soul music adjacent, right? Like them Irish cats, man.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Irish popular music always traffics in an interesting space. Now
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: he doesn't do the fun thing that I prefer, which
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: is clear out in front Irish accent when.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I wake up, you know, like that. He doesn't quite
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: give you that, right?
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: But it's the soul of the music that is so
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: clear and a really interesting like production style from him
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: because it is, Very jazz in some ways, but also, again, very,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: very Irish folkish. And I'm really just talking about the
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: 68 to 74 run. But I will tell you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: This, man.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I went to go see Van Morrison at Forest Hills
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: in 2014. A, that is the whitest thing I have
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: ever done or been to in my life.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, interesting.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I've never seen fewer people of color in a place.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Can I tell you the whitest concert I've ever been to?
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Do tell.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: I could see that.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, there was, it was single digits.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: But what's so.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Interesting about that is, again, neither of them, I believe,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: have music that is like people of color or verse.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I don't understand exactly how that goes. But let me
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: tell you, number two, no performer has ever treated me
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: as a patron with less respect.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Than Van Morrison. It's never felt more like a transaction.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: then that Van Boren's a concert.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: He got a band that's set in an arc, so
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: they don't even play for the crowd. They just play
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: for each other. He's standing still, and he's singing. The
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: last song is Gloria, and everybody in the band got
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: to do a little flourish or whatever, but I ain't
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: never had nothing quite like this, where that man walked
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: off the stage, and I went with my brother, and
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I looked at him and was like, ain't no encore,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: big dog.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: We can leave right now.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: All right, here's one more.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: What's up, Bo?
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: I'm Ryan from Ryan.
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: Listening to you and Shannon talk, y'all mentioned the magician.
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: So I'm at my boy's party in Harlem. He does
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: his end of summer party every year. And I'm at
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: the party, you know, mainly when he is a mixed
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: friend group. Talking to one of the guests there, the
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: guy's talking, I'm like, yo, how do you know the
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: host of the party? And he's like, yo, I know him.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: We're trying to organize like a fundraiser, charity run thing,
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: like organized events. So I actually just met him not
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: too long ago. You know, and that's what I do.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: I plan charitable events, usually in the fitness realm. That's
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: my day job. Well, that's what I'm doing when I'm
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: not doing magic. You know, I've been doing it for
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: a few years. And he just talking about his job,
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: talking about his job. And I cut him off. And
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: I said, hold on, bro. Did you say you do magic?
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: And he's like, yeah. Bro, this motherfucker pulled out like
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: a deck of cards. Starts doing magic tricks. He did
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: magic for like the next hour. And then he just
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: said goodnight. He had dinner reservations and he left. And
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: the crazy thing is about a couple, I told one
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: of my boys about it, a mutual friend of the host.
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: And a couple months later, he linked up with that
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: host somewhere. And that's when my motherfucker was dead and
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: he did it again.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: All right, man.
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: Enjoy your day, man. Love the show.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: I mean... He is acknowledging, though, it was dope, right?
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: Magic is dope.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Like, I feel like if he did it for a
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: whole hour.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: Do you know how long an hour is? Like, think
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: about how, like, that is, like, think about stand-up for
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: an hour or a concert for an hour. But now
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: this is a non-professional.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, trying to do a podcast for an hour by yourself, right?
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: And you don't have to do any sleight of hand.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: He did that for a full hour. After a certain point,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: he's like, excuse me, young lady, what is your name?
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Come up here for a second. All right, I'm going
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: to show you something. Okay, now everybody here. I love
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: that he's stay ready, right? And every turn, he's ready.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: He has his gear with him.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm going to tell you this, man.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: If you have a mastery at what you do and
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: the confidence to do it, you can own any room.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Forget about just magic. My man, Lyndon. I'm sure Lyndon
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: is listening to this show right now. Okay, Lyndon.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: He's a skinny young man, but he's probably not skinny
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: anymore because he's a grown man now. But he is
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: from Kannapolis, North Carolina. He was one of my students
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: at North Carolina. Got a real strong, thick accent. Really, really,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: really smart dude.
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Knows a bunch of things about a bunch of stuff.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: And he works in the shoe industry.
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: So one day I'm in California. This is about 15
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: years ago, I guess. I'm in California and I invite
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: him to hang out with me and a bunch of
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: my friends from graduate.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: School, right?
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: So it's a wall-to-wall room of black people and Lyndon,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: who is not, okay? Like we do not come from
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: the same places, right? So we are there and I
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: forget how this came up, but he was talking or
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: explaining how one would create a knockoff shoot, right? So
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: if one were to decide, To take a shoe that
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: is popular and to change it up just enough to
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: not get sued, but to still look like the shoe
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: that you hope to emulate.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: And he got that confidence, right?
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I will stand in this room full
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: of people and take off a shoe and give a
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: demonstration of how to create a knockoff.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: And he did. And I watched as we were all engrossed.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: That's awesome. It sounds fascinating.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: We were not sober. He was. We weren't.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: There was a bit of sobriety in the room.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: And he stood up and he just took that off
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: and was like, okay, I take this and I put
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: this here.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: We do this here. I turn this around. I do
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: this here. Ta-da! Knock-off shoot.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: And I'm just saying, if you could pull that off
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: with knock-off shoes, imagine if you knew how to do magic. Like,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: I bet you all of them did the... Well, David Copperfield,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't he married to Claudia Schiffer?
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: I can't say that.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: I bet all the magicians, even them Penn and Teller dudes,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I bet they all got bad ones, man.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: They can run a room. You can stand up there
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: and run a room. I love that anywhere this man go, though,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: he got that deck of cards.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Doing tricks, all of this stuff.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: All right, here's our last one.
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: Bo, long-time listener here. I have a really funny story
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: about a former pro basketball player and playing in an
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: intramural league in Parker, Colorado. This former basketball player is
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: none other than Earl Boykins, a whole 5'5 inches tall.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: We were playing in a league, and we finally got
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: the opportunity to play against his team. A buddy of
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: mine on my team, and I really hope that he's
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: a listener of your show. I think he probably is.
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: pulls up to the game and says, man, Earl's 5'5.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: Let me guard his little ass. Let me tell you
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: that there is a big, big, big, big difference between
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: a pro basketball player and a dude that has only
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: played high school. And he guarded Earl, and Earl dropped
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: probably 45 on us. Earl took it to the rack.
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: Not a single dude on our team could do anything.
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: He was shooting from beyond half court like it was
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: a regular three-pointer. I think we probably lost by 30
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: or 40, and they had to call the game early.
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: I've never seen anything like it, and I've never played
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: against somebody as talented as him. And all you have
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: to remind yourself in this situation is he's 5'5 and
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: played in the NBA. He had to be really good
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: to be 5'5 playing in the NBA. Love listening to
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: the show, man, and been wanting to tell this story
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: for a while.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: Peace.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Hold on. Not just really good, but also really strong. Yes.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: And so I think you need to be afraid.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: Also strong and fast. Yes.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Like you need to be glad that there was not
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: a hard foul.
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Mixed up in this. Like whose ass is little now, bitch?
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: I'll guard earl's little oh no no no i don't
• 48:04
